NAFCD honors young exec, elects new leaders at conference

Jan Clinite, director of marketing and development for St. Louis-based
Interstate Supply Co., was honored recently by the North American
Association of Floor Covering Distributors. At its 35th annual meeting
in Palm Springs, she received the Future Leader of the Year award,
designed to recognize outstanding people in the industry who have not
yet reached their 40th birthday.

Clinite, who is credited with positively developing the
company’s marketing department in her four years with Interstate, will
receive a scholarship to attend a special program at Indiana/Perdue’s
University of Industrial Distribution (UID). Clinite is also active in
her community, serving as treasurer of her local neighborhood
association, and serving as a deacon at her church. She offered NFT a
few words on her success.

“Keep your mind, ears and eyes open. See what can be done better, work
collaboratively with others and involve everyone’s perspective,” she
said.

Of special note, the organization has formally modified its
name. While it will still go by the acronym NAFCD, “NA” no longer
refers to National Association but “North American Association.” The
group’s management said the adjustment reflects the changing nature of
its membership. For more information about NAFCD, email: info@nafcd.org or visit the NAFCD Web site at www.nafcd.org.
